Liverpool Broadgreen (UK Parliament constituency)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituency main Liverpool Broadgreen was a parliamentary constituency centred on the Broadgreen suburb of Liverpool. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency was created for the 1983 general election, and abolished for the 1997 general election. When the seat was first contested, it was estimated by the BBC and ITN that had it been fought at the previous election in 1979 it would have returned a Conservative MP with majority of 565.[1] However, despite the Conservatives winning the 1983 general election with a landslide majority and Labour's support falling for its 1979 level, Labour won Broadgreen with a majority of 3,800.[2] Labour would go on to win the seat at every election when it was contested.
